Sedona

I planned for us to have four days in Northern Arizona, so using Flagstaff as our base, we spent one day in Sedona, which is about 40 miles south.  Flagstaff is a flat city on a plateau, but driving south into Sedona, it's a valley surrounded by red rocks.  This is the famous Church in the Rocks.

This is the view from the church....do you see the SIZE of that house there at the base? 

We spent the afternoon just going to many of the places where you could get up close to some of the outcrops.  This is Courthouse rock.

There is these "vortexes" around Sedona, which people claim have energy.  Here's I am on top of the vortex near the airport.

The balance of the afternoon was hiking the "airport" loop, which is about 5KM.  We ended it right around sunset.  Perfect timing.
